TIPTON JIM L

Tipton Jim L specializes in delivering mission-critical food service operations for U.S. Department of Defense installations, with deep expertise in institutional meal preparation, boxed meal logistics, and on-site dining support under strict military wage and operational standards. The contractor provides end-to-end food service solutions including daily meal production, catering for short-term military exercises, and sustained dining operations at remote training sites, ensuring compliance with federal wage determinations and nutritional guidelines. Technical proficiency includes scalable meal assembly, cold chain management, USDA-compliant food safety protocols, and rapid deployment of dining services in austere environments. A key differentiator is the consistent execution of time-sensitive, high-volume meal programs under dynamic scheduling, particularly for officer candidate schools and expeditionary camps, demonstrating adaptability to shifting troop movements and operational demands. The contractor maintains a long-standing, exclusive relationship with the Department of Defense, delivering food service support across multiple military installations and training centers, primarily in the northern Great Plains region. Work spans base dining facilities, temporary field operations, and special event catering, indicating a trusted role in sustaining readiness through reliable, on-demand nutrition services tailored to military protocols. Primary industry focus centers on Food Service Contractors (NAICS 722310), with complementary capabilities in Limited-Service Restaurants (722513) and Caterers (722320), reflecting a niche specialization in military-grade institutional dining rather than commercial hospitality. This positions the contractor as a precision provider for federal operational nutrition, not general food service. As a Woman-Owned Small Business with 2L entity structure, Tipton Jim L is certified under the SBA’s WOSB program and operates from Plankinton, South Dakota, serving as a regional provider with proven capacity to deliver compliant, scalable food services to federal defense sites across the continental U.S.
